Life story
Grandma was a lover of all animals except spiders. She was a fighter until the very end. She loved her gloves had probably 50 pairs of them. She had a sweet tooth and loved all her kids and grandkids. You could always find her doing a word search or listening to gospel music with a dog on her lap or at her feet.
